Don't know whether there is an umlaut on the 'o' Jerry, but I once fired a
whole pile of HE 30mm at the strafe targets (an old convoy) on Grafenwohr.
We used laser ranging (cleared by the Range Safety Officer) and the
accuracy from the old Aden cannon on the Jaguar that I was flying then was
quite impressive (and my skill of course - I was young and over-confident
then ;-))
Back then I only had an OM1 with a 50/1.8 and a Vivitar 28/2.8. I don't
think that my photos have improved with gathering all the glass that I
have...
Finally, I have been offered a post in Verona from June next year; anyone
know anything about the photo opportunities of the place?
